Review the Time Remaining

See the sections “Alert A5: PUMP TIMER” (page 151) and “Error E5: END OF OPERATION” (page 158) for more information.

2. Press dto move to the PUMP TIMER screen. The days until the pump timer expires is shown.

3 times in their manual it mentions shutting off. And this is from the Disetronic USA site not the Disetronic DE site. I think that explains enough that it shuts off, so why even put it in their manual if it doesn't?
